Twitter Updates from Stan Lee & Jon Favreau

Stan the Man is mildly disappointed with 'Odin's' casting while World of Warcraft is ruining JFav's Iron Man 2
MTV's Splashpage furnishes us with some humorous news.

Stan Lee comments on the latest Thor casting news:

@smilinstanlee I learned that Anthony Hopkins'll play Odin in the Thor movie! There goes my big chance! I'll probably just carry a spear--if I can lift it!
-Stan Lee, Writer ("The Amazing Spider-Man," "Ravage 2099")



While Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau hits a roadblock in the editing room:

@Jon_Favreau My editor has discovered World of Warcraft. There goes the release date.
-Jon Favreau, Director ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2")



Even Dan Slott throws out an errant thought about a future CBM:

@DanSlott If they show Micronauts in IMAX, wouldn't that make them just "Nauts"? RT @mike_mayhew Micronauts in IMAX? This could be super-cool.
-Dan Slott, Writer ("The Amazing Spider-Man," "Avengers: The Initiative")

On another slow news weekend, it's nice to hear these guys still keep in touch with their fans.

@Teabag-how is this good stuff. That means that Stan Lee wont be Odin. He was the best actor for the part. He has so much experience lol.

But that Iron Man 2 stuff sucks. That means they might push back the release date.
BatmanKnight - 11/7/2009, 10:16 AM
Batman @ sorry never read the article lol :P
teabag - 11/7/2009, 10:21 AM
Yea Its Official World Of WarCraft Takes Your Soul, its the devils instrument...but be thankful that the living dead havent attacked yet they are all too busy playing W.O.W.
RomeyRome2002 - 11/7/2009, 10:30 AM
Nice, what else can they complain about?
Minotauro - 11/7/2009, 10:30 AM
STAN LEE isn't the only disappointed with the crappy pick of ODIN!

Great actor, wrong for this part.

BRIAN BLESSEN all da way! ; D
LEEE777 - 11/7/2009, 10:39 AM
@Minotauro: I'm sure you can give them a few ideas since apparently it's what you're good at :P
MultiPurposePoni - 11/7/2009, 10:40 AM
Multi/Romey@ lol

LEEE@ im with ya ...Blessed is Odin :)
teabag - 11/7/2009, 10:47 AM
he was joking, IM2 won't be pushed back. if it did get pushed back because some jobber was playing WoW, he would never work in the industry again.
CorndogBurglar - 11/7/2009, 11:00 AM
LEE: You cant want Blessed all that much if you cant spell his name...who's Brian Blessen? ;D

Seriously though, Blessed was a good choice for Odin but I think he'd make a much better Volstagg! He looks far more like him and sounds just as I imagine the character does!

I cant wait to see what Stan Lee's cameo is in Thor...as long as its not as obvious as the stupid one in Spider-Man 3! That would take me out of the moment way too much especially in a film like Thor!

Now, Dan Slott is the guy who should be involved with the Spider-Man 4 script - he writes an awesome Spider-Man!
JoshW - 11/7/2009, 11:12 AM
ROFL at all the world of warcraft talk. SO MANY people play it including myself. i could just imagine people high up in the entertainment industry play it too and get their workers hooked from time to time, lol
hbk82287 - 11/7/2009, 11:14 AM
Man i could go for some Anus Beef lol :P
teabag - 11/7/2009, 11:37 AM
@teabag: Where's SirPrize when you need him??
MultiPurposePoni - 11/7/2009, 11:39 AM
Multi@ lol...youl do .....c'mere!!!! :D


teabag - 11/7/2009, 11:47 AM
@teabag: Wish I could bud, but it's the missus' Bday. Mine ass belongith to her today :)

But tomorrow is a different story (. . and I mean butt)
MultiPurposePoni - 11/7/2009, 11:51 AM
Hopkins wasn't my personal choice for Odin, and I'm still a bit disappointed by his casting, but I wouldn't call him a crappy choice. He'll pull off the acting/personality part of Odin, but he doesn't have the physical condition required or the voice.

Stellan Skarsgard is a fantastic actor, and is a giant. He would have been the best Odin IMO.

@Poni - I'm pretty sure that 90% of the people on this site do on a daily basis... You might want to point the finger at yourself..
Minotauro - 11/7/2009, 12:44 PM
*Sniff*....i too have lost countless friends to WOW....but thank goodness for Facebook for making me some new ones!!! ;)
Kes - 11/7/2009, 12:52 PM
FFS BLESSED!!! ; D



Though @ JOSH @ He'd make a amazing VOLSTAGG too!!! Good call, the guys gotta be in THOR though, he's made for either part!

MULTI @ Dude! Say HAPPY B-DAY to your missus for me, hope she has a good one!




LEEE777 - 11/7/2009, 12:54 PM
LEE: I agree 110%!!! :)

I think Blessed was too old and "jolly" if you will for Odin. Odin should be serious and dramatic, Blessed is much more fitting to Volstagg. And he's only 5'9", which is too short for Odin.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 11/7/2009, 1:06 PM
i stink

woo hoo!
jallanr - 11/7/2009, 1:14 PM
o ya btw i think hopkins will do a decent job as odin. i rlly didnt want stan for the part. ps i dont get wuts so addicting about WoW. i played it and got sooo bored soo quickly oh well

woo hoo!
jallanr - 11/7/2009, 1:15 PM
jallanr: You stink? Uh...good to know!?!
JoshW - 11/7/2009, 1:16 PM
@Minotauro: The funny thing is that none of those quotes are negative, yet you obviously interpreted them to be. Kinda goes to show your mindset :(

Cheer up pal, it's Saturday!
MultiPurposePoni - 11/7/2009, 1:23 PM
I wish someone would hurry the [frick] up and twitter when we're going to have the Captain America casting announcement...I cant wait much longer, lol!!!
JoshW - 11/7/2009, 3:04 PM
Multi@ Hope your misses has a great birthday and best wishes from the Teabag family :D

teabag - 11/7/2009, 3:36 PM
Marvel would sick that dude with flame hands on the editor if IM2 got pushed back. I'm happy about Hopkins as Odin. Stellan Skarsgard is a great actor as well, but I think makes for a better villain.
@Lee: I don't think I could take blessed seriously as an actor. He's too Santa Clause-esque for me. (rosy cheeks, a belly that shakes like jelly, jolly demeanor, etc.)
Upupandaway - 11/7/2009, 3:46 PM
@Multi: The best to your wife.
Upupandaway - 11/7/2009, 3:46 PM
Upup@ Blessed is one of the great british classical stage actors of any generation....just cus he played a camp Hawk dude in Flash Gordon doesnt mean he's just for laughs......if you want to see him in a movie and act more Odin like i would say watch him as Robin Hoods father in the Costner movie :)
teabag - 11/7/2009, 3:49 PM
@tea: It's been forever since I've seen that flick. You do have to admit that he looks pretty jolly. :) I just like when these movies are treated well. Oh, well, Netflix away.
Upupandaway - 11/7/2009, 3:54 PM
Upup@ Dont get me wrong the guys as [frick]ing loopy as they come....but he's a profesional :D
teabag - 11/7/2009, 3:56 PM
@tea: I loved Robin Hood, but try to block out Costner's shoddy performance. Sometimes, other stuff gets lost as well.
Upupandaway - 11/7/2009, 4:03 PM
Upup@ I find concentrating on Costners wig helps :)
teabag - 11/7/2009, 4:06 PM
Multi - you ass belongs to Tea and I. Maybe she wants a MANwich for the missus b-day. My ass is more like a Whataburger, more like WhataAss. =P
SirPrize - 11/7/2009, 4:07 PM
BatmanKnight - Are you HIGH?! Stan can't act (even his cameos SUCK!) and he's just plain annoying! I'd take just about ANYONE over 'The Man' for the role of Odin!
loganoneil - 11/7/2009, 4:14 PM
Mines mor like a quarter pounder...filling but you wish there was more :)
teabag - 11/7/2009, 4:24 PM
Tea - isn't that the truth. I'm just happy that fries comes with that shake. =]

DENG FAVRUE GOT BUFF

In regards to the WOW talk, my buddy apparently was in the same game as Brandon Routh a few times and didn't even know it until a few months later because he always tried to avoid him in games he was in. Then he found out that was who was under that screen name (which I forget now). He said he would just slay people ruthlessly and would almost always die while in the same game. He told me one time that "who ever that one [frick]er is has to be like that one son of a bitch from south park that had no life"
FlashThompson - 11/9/2009, 7:31 AM
multi: Happy birthday to the better half.

I think some folks just aren't getting the jokes. Lee is ECSTATIC to have Anthony Hopkins as Odin. Anyone who thinks that Stan Lee SERIOUSLY considered himself for the part of Odin needs to get out more.

As for the editor finding World of Warcraft and it putting the production of IM2 back, it's a good thing he isn't playing Age of Conan or we'd be talking about Avengers for 2025. WoW is pretty weak in comparison, both graphics-wise and content-wise.
bropous - 11/9/2009, 7:52 AM
@bropous Wow that's the first time I've ever seen someone say anything good about AoC.
Killian - 11/9/2009, 12:44 PM
I like Stan Lee. He's old. Old people fart a lot. Farts are funny.

LMAO.
SirPrize - 11/9/2009, 1:17 PM
Nice to hear about Odin.

I played WoW and survived, I stopped playing it after two months. It's fun, but not my shot of whiskey, I'll leave that game to my girlfriend which allows me to rock out my 360. I win.
